Bill HendrixApril 20, 2018great food in a casual atmosphere. I had the grilled swordfish while the husband had the scallops. Both were excellent. Wine list was also moderately priced and offered good selection.- The soups are all wonderful. The clam chowder is the best in the East Bay, like it hot? Can't miss with the pepperpot. I'm having the southwestern Sweet potato, a spicy, smooth seasonal offering. Yum!
Frank KimFebruary 3, 2015The lobster mac & cheese is pretty amazing, even though there's more bacon in it it seems than lobster, and the red coconut curry pink grouper was pretty good too.
SFGate ManagerJuly 16, 2012Lead bartender Jay Crabb - who works from a collection of more than 20 bitters - regularly changes more than half the cocktail menu.
- If you like your cocktails spicy, order the not-on-the-menu "no name" drink (aka "The Tony Danza."
- Jay is the best bartender in the East Bay. Order an original cocktail...handcrafted & legit.
- If you like spicy hot, go for the pepperpot soup. It is delicious! And HOT!
Jay BennettSeptember 6, 2011The greyhound is made with daily fresh squeezed pink grapefruit juice. Stellar.
- Ask for the habanero sauce they "keep in the back."
